May support routine TTFD in CABG to lower VF risk; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.
Does intraoperative bypass flow measurement with TTFD reduce the incidence of postoperative ventricular fibrillation and myocardial injury in patients undergoing isolated CABG?
Routine intraoperative bypass flow measurement with TTFD during CABG significantly reduces postoperative ventricular fibrillation and associated mortality.
